Chapter 298: Reversing the Four Symbols: Today and the Past
Deep sea abyss.
Shi Xuan appeared in front of the vortex. The motionless dark blue vortex was exactly the same as it was more than 80 years ago, but the magnificent and magnificent fairy palace could not be seen, because the time for the fairy palace to be born had not yet come.
However, this did not bother Shi Xuan. He used the second-level lightning purple pupil, and his eyes were full of tiny purple lightning. He carefully explored the vortex.
Not long after, Shi Xuan showed a smile on his face. He had found the entrance to the fairy palace behind the vortex. Although it was hidden, Master Guangyang was not a celestial fairy who could see a world in a grain of sand. So after a million years, there would always be clues for him to catch.
Combining his body with the five-color sword light, Shi Xuan went straight into the vortex and threw himself towards the entrance. The formation restriction at the entrance was broken by the Five Elements Immortal Sword, and could not stop Shi Xuan at all.
After a slight pause, a familiar scene appeared in front of Shi Xuan. Above his head was a vast brown continent, surrounded by boundless void, with wind blades flying everywhere, and under his feet was a brilliant starry sky, a pale sun, and a red moon.
But unlike before, as soon as Shi Xuan came in, the purple-green red lotus flame and the blue-white cold light shot out from the white and red sun and moon, without any buffer, and arrived beside Shi Xuan in the blink of an eye.
Countless tiny but extremely sharp wind blades with a faint burning breath came from all directions, blocking Shi Xuan's way out and retreat. And many eight-foot-tall stone men rushed over from above, and before the people arrived, huge stones as big as hills were thrown over. Although the stones were extremely large, their speed was not much slower than the red lotus flame and the cold light, but it was like a gust of wind.
The countless stars in the brilliant starry sky below each shot out a black magnetic divine light, which merged into a surging tide and rushed towards Shi Xuan. The metal objects on Shi Xuan's body felt difficult to control.
The power of these waves of attacks was between the third and fourth level of Taoism. Even an ordinary Jindan Grandmaster would be in danger of falling if caught off guard. Moreover, this was the power of the Inverted Four Symbols Formation after it had declined for a million years. Thinking back to the past, I am afraid that each attack had at least the power of the ninth level of Taoism.
Compared with this Taoist attack, the other function of the inverted four-image formation made Shi Xuan's face change slightly. There was no response when mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Occasionally, there was a disorder. If you really use them to perform Taoist magic, there will be disastrous consequences. In addition, the space is solid, and the small teleportation technique cannot be used at all. Shi Xuan experienced the extraordinaryness of the ancient immortal formation. No wonder only the Jindan Grandmaster has the hope of getting through. Even if you, a cultivator in the spirit and soul stage, get a few talismans, how long can you last.
When this ubiquitous and all-converging attack was about to hit Shi Xuan, a magnificent and all-encompassing golden bridge appeared out of thin air with a solemn and sacred aura. The red lotus flames stopped, the cold light stopped, the countless wind blades stopped, the hill-like stones stopped, and the eight-foot-tall stone man also stopped in various strange postures, as if everything in the world stopped, and everything was quiet.
Shi Xuan stepped onto the golden bridge calmly with his hands behind his back. After a few moments, the still red flames and cold lights hit the empty space in the middle, stirring up one after another colorful clouds.
Relying on the mysterious effect of the golden bridge on the other side transformed by the Tai Chi diagram, Shi Xuan arrived at the four-color vortex filled with gray mist without any danger and stepped into it. Compared with the difficulties and dangers when he had to use the life-saving talisman to reach this place, it was really a world of difference, and the power of the formations encountered twice was far different.
…………
On the road to Wanbao Tower, Shi Xuan walked leisurely, admiring the jade trees and white flowers around him, and all kinds of beautiful scenery. It has only been thirteen days since he set out, and Master Jiang will have two days before he goes to block Master Bai Gu. If he hurriedly takes the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler and attracts Master Bai Gu's attention, and he happens to have survived the heavenly tribulation in the past two days, it will be bad.
And even if he is on the island and cannot go out now, if he refines an incarnation or a white-bone puppet, it will be a bit troublesome. Although judging from various situations, if the White-Bone Immortal really has an incarnation or a puppet, it is also limited by intelligence or strength and cannot enter the Immortal Palace, but when he goes out, he will still suffer a lot, after all, the Yuanshen Immortal always has some insidious and weird means to use.
In addition, Shi Xuan is not worried that the Jindan Grandmaster in this cultivation world has taken the Nine Heavens Yuanyang Ruler.
Lu Lingxiao is a low-grade Jindan, and he has only been a pill for more than 80 years. It is still unclear whether he has refined the Breaking Heaven Sword into a spiritual weapon, not to mention that he has no heaven-human communication, and there is a lack of Taoism here, so he can't get through the inverted four-image formation in front of him.
Even if Shen Xiaojin and Zhao Jinyu, mother and daughter, rely on the Nine-Turn Nine-Return Jade Liquid Divine Pill to achieve a mid-grade golden pill, it will take at most ten years to achieve the pill. You should know that before Shi Xuan's soul was perfected, his advancement speed was not much slower than that of taking pills. After they reached the perfection of their souls, they also needed a period of accumulation before they could take pills to advance, so they also did not have enough strength to break through the formation.
Slowly walking to the front of the Wanbao Building, Shi Xuan did not intend to go in, but sat cross-legged outside to regulate his breathing and practice Taoism. He did not even look at the bursts of rosy clouds and thousands of auspicious airs emitted from the fourth floor from time to time.
…………
After more than two days, Shi Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Now Master Jiang should have blocked Master Bai Gu for half a day. Since there is no abnormality, everything is going well.
After getting up, Shi Xuan spread his light of escape and arrived at the third floor of Wanbao Tower in a moment. The crystal wall stood there quietly, as if it had not been washed away by time.
The crystal wall that needed to be broken by joint efforts at the beginning, under the Tai Chi diagram, it only took Shi Xuan a moment to escape into it.
The natural treasures and spiritual tools on the third floor had been taken away by people last time. No, behind the crystal wall, there was a white skeleton wearing the brown Taoist robe of Houtu Sect, sitting cross-legged with his eyes facing the outside of the crystal wall, holding a treasure mirror in his hand.
As a Jindan Grandmaster, Shi Xuan recalled a little and remembered that there was a white-haired old woman monk from Houtu Sect who was unable to fly out before the ban was restored and was trapped inside. After more than 80 years, she has turned into bones.
The reason why Shi Xuan hadn't thought of this before was that he thought that the old woman should be able to master the several layers of restrictions of the spiritual artifact mirror in ten years, so as to open the crystal wall and get out. Even if she died, she would die at the exit or in the formation.
With a little doubt, Shi Xuan took the spiritual artifact mirror and its jade slip for sacrifice, and laughed as soon as he put it into his consciousness. This mirror is also a replica of a famous ancient magic weapon, also called "magic mirror", which can fix monsters and restore the transformed monsters to their original form, but it is not an offensive spiritual weapon, so it is naturally unable to break through the crystal wall restrictions. Therefore, this cultivator was trapped here until his death, which was really a bit of bad luck.
Put away the magic mirror. Although it is not a useful thing for Shi Xuan, it is a good spiritual weapon whether it is given to disciples or collected.
Shi Xuan came to the depths of the hall and stepped into the green light column.
In a blink of an eye, the fourth-floor circular hall appeared in front of Shi Xuan. The crystal wall emitting golden light and mixed with blue-white lightning, the black high platform, the ancient wooden box, and the nine golden flowers wrapped in purple air that jumped out from time to time were the same as before, without any change.
Seeing the Nine Heavens Yuanyang Ruler, Shi Xuan was not excited. He first activated a talisman, and a Taoist robe condensed from countless blue lightning appeared on Shi Xuan. Song Hezi was seriously injured here that year, and Shi Xuan did not dare to be careless. He used the sixth-level Taoist talisman without hesitation.
The purple lightning in the pupil reappeared. Between the birth and death of the lightning, under the purple background, the restrictions of the crystal wall were exposed to Shi Xuan's eyes. The layers of restrictions were all mysterious and powerful. Shi Xuan's purple pupils kept flashing with lightning. In his soul, he used the formation knowledge he had learned and the Beidou Guiding Heart Method to calculate the weak points of the restrictions.
After a while, Shi Xuan suddenly took a step forward, and the solemn and mysterious Golden Bridge of the Other Shore flew out of his body, crossed the void, and landed on the upper left of the crystal wall at three feet six inches and three points. The entire crystal wall array seemed to emit a silent chirping, and then there was a slight stagnation.
Taking this opportunity, the sixth-level Taoist magic-grade forbidden-breaking talisman emitted white light, transformed into one white talisman after another, and pasted on the crystal wall.
With a loud bang, the infinite golden light suddenly burst out. In an instant, the entire hall outside the crystal wall was covered by the golden light, which was extremely dazzling and there was no blank space.
One after another, the golden light made the floor of the hall like a sieve, not to mention the blue-white lightning that wandered in the golden light, which hit a place on the ground and turned it into a hole.
When the golden light burst out, Shi Xuan saw that its power was equivalent to that of the fifth-level Taoist magic, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Even though it was judged before that the power of this restriction should be between the fifth and sixth levels, otherwise Song Hezi would not have escaped with serious injuries, but would have died on the spot, but when the time came, there was still a fear of variables. In that case, Shi Xuan could only use the innate wind and thunder escape, risking injury, and return to the third floor to make plans later.
However, the blue-white lightning behind was powerful enough for the sixth-level Taoist magic, and Shi Xuan's jade lightning clothes could not withstand a few hits, so the purple-green wings appeared behind him, and after taking the blue-white lightning attack, they flapped and escaped into the crystal wall from the large hole dissolved by the ban-breaking talisman.
It was calm inside, but Shi Xuan did not dare to delay. The jade lightning clothes on his body were hit by the blue-white lightning just now, and he was afraid that it would not last long. If he waited, who knows when the golden lightning will stop, and what will happen after it stops, so he can only do it in one go.
The restriction of the crystal wall outside is so powerful that the restriction of the black platform and the ancient wooden box inside is slightly weaker. Under Shi Xuan's Tai Chi diagram, it stops directly, allowing Shi Xuan's spiritual consciousness to penetrate in and absorb the Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Ruler.
